QuestionPURCHASED A AMORE KORDANA ~ RED ~ INSIDE FOR TEMPS ARE MUCH TO COLD UP NORTH HERE FOR OUTSIDE.
KEEPING SOIL MOIST YET THE LEAVES ARE FALLING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PLANT. HAVE TRIMMED BACK ONCE A ROSE DIES. HAS SUN LIGHT ~ NOT DIRECT. SO WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY BE.

AnswerHi Donna.........Most roses require at least 5 to 6 hours of sun to stay healthy and bloom........let the soil almost dry out completely before you water it again (you do not want to over water, thus resulting in root rot)
You did not mention how close it is to a window....what are you feeding it.......if you are using a fungicide? All these things play into the whole picture....
As long as the stems are healthy and green and it is producing leaves/blooms, the loss of a few leaves is perfectly normal.
